424 East 139th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The two-family house at 424 East 139th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Aaron Dsouza, has a documented history dating back to 2005 when several housing maintenance code violations were recorded for apartment 2A on the second floor. These violations included the need for proper painting of ceilings, walls, and wood trims (Class A violation), the installation of an approved carbon monoxide detecting device (Class B violation), and the eradication of a roach infestation (Class B violation).

While these issues were certified as corrected by 2019, with the carbon monoxide detector violation resolved in May 2019 and the painting violation in July 2019, the building experienced a significant pest control incident in 2021, though records show no bedbug infestation during that period (with counts of 0 for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units). The property has undergone regular rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent three inspections in 2020, 2022, and 2023 resulting in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management in recent years.

An anomaly occurred in the 2017 inspection when the building failed for "Other Reasons," though the specific nature of this failure is not documented in the available data. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing and resolving violations, particularly those related to safety and health concerns, with no new housing maintenance violations recorded since 2019.
